About this product

SkyHawk leverages Seagate's extensive experience in designing drives purpose-built for surveillance applications. ImagePerfect firmware is designed to ensure seamless video footage capture in 24×7 surveillance workloads that record video from 64 HD cameras. SkyHawk Health Management actively helps protect your surveillance storage by focusing on prevention, intervention, and recovery options. Included is RAID RapidRebuild, which provides 3× faster volume rebuilds over traditional RAID rebuilds. RV sensors built in allow drives to maintain performance in multi-bay systems, giving customers the flexibility to scale their systems when more storage is needed. ATA streaming support enables recordings from up to 64 HD cameras for smooth, uninterrupted footage. 1M hours MTBF, 3-year limited warranty represents an improved total cost of ownership (TCO) with reduced maintenance costs. Lower power consumption means a reduction in heat emissions, which improves reliability in surveillance solutions. Tarnish-resistant components help protect drive from environmental elements, increasing field reliability.
